Section VII-4: Jurisdiction of Supreme Court - Writs.

  The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court shall be
co-extensive with the State and shall extend to all cases at law
and in equity; except that the Court of Criminal Appeals shall
have exclusive appellate jurisdiction in criminal cases until
otherwise provided by statute and in the event there is any
conflict as to jurisdiction, the Supreme Court shall determine
which court has jurisdiction and such determination shall be
final.  The original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court shall
extend to a general superintendent control over all inferior
courts and all Agencies, Commissions and Boards created by law.
The Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, in criminal matters
and all other appellate courts shall have power to issue, hear
and determine writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, quo warranto,
certiorari, prohibition and such other remedial writs as may be
provided by law and may exercise such other and further
jurisdiction as may be conferred by statute.  Each of the
Justices or Judges shall have power to issue writs of habeas
corpus to any part of the State upon petition by or on behalf of
any person held in actual custody and make such writs returnable
before himself, or before the Supreme Court, other Appellate
Courts, or before any District Court, or judge thereof in the
State.  The appellate and the original jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court and all other appellate courts shall be invoked in
the manner provided by law.
